Overview: I thought I had sneaked safely into Craggys without being seen for a good two minutes before I got tapped on the shoulder. I turned around and saw Calloway standing there in his pristine suit.
“We need to talk,” he said; his voice solid, calm and brooking no argument.
I hesitated, searching for a face that could help. Seeing none, I scowled and gestured for him to follow me. The only room I could think of that was empty was my bedroom. Slightly inappropriate, but what could I do? Ben didn’t follow- Charlotte’s promise of duck had been far more interesting.
I opened my door for Calloway to walk through and shut it behind me. “Before you say anything-”
I didn’t get another word out before his lips were locked on mine. My back slammed against the door as he pushed his body against mine, his hands holding my waist tight. For a mad few seconds, I was swept up in the moment and allowed myself to be taken away.
But reality was a bitch and she soon clawed me awake.
Wrenching my face from his, I pushed him from me. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I yelled, furious.
He took a step back and turned away to regain his composure. “I’m sorry,” he said after a full twenty seconds. “I’ve been dying to do that since I saw you.”
I stood silent, having no reply to that. I could have said a bunch of retorts there and then, but I hate hurting anyone for no reason. “Why are you here?” I said instead, putting my hands on my hips. “Because if you think you can come waltzing back into my life, you’re very much mistaken.”
“Ellie-”
“I’ve made a success of myself here.”
“If you would just-”
“You have no right to-”
“Rino’s been sighted.”
With those three words, my world came crashing down. I just managed to grab onto my bedstead before I hit the ground, blackness seeping through my sight. The pain from my palms was the only thing keeping me cemented to reality, Calloway’s voice miles away from the sound of blood rushing in my head.
My entire soul at that moment screamed out for Ben, the only thing that would drag me out of that chaos. Sweat dripped down my face and between my shoulder blades, my knees shook and my lungs disbelieving in any oxygen it was taking in.
Oh God, I couldn’t breathe…
I heaved in more air into my lungs, desperate to have a sense of escape as the blackness came back in, the image of Rino’s face smiling in front of me wild in my mind. Hands were tight around my upper arms. A voice shouting at me, but it made me feel more trapped.
Ben, Ben, Ben, BenBbbbenBenBenBbben!
Before I knew it, I was lying on the floor, staring at the twirling ceiling above my eyes. I knew people were staring down at me, but I didn’t care. I wanted to sink away, and went the darkness set in, I was glad. The sensation of soft fur touched my hands and at last I relaxed and allowed myself to succumb.
